On October 1, 2015, the first day of federal fiscal year
2016, the federal financial participation (FFP) rate for Title IV-E Adoption
Assistance will change slightly to 62.47% of the cost of each monthly
payment. The non-federal portion will be
37.53% of the cost of each payment.
As readers will recall, the first portion of a federal Title IV-E
Adoption Assistance payment of up to $250 per month is covered entirely by
federal and state funds. The county is responsible for the non-federal
portion of any adoption assistance payment over $250 up to the child’s foster
care payment rate.
The following examples illustrate the costs to Ohio Counties of various monthly adoption assistance payments.
